NASA Scientists, Engineers Receive Presidential Early Career Awards
January 17, 2025
Washington, D.C. – Four NASA scientists and engineers have been recognized with the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). The PECASE is the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers.
The NASA scientists and engineers receiving the 2025 PECASE awards are:
- Dr. Jessica Barnes, a research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for her work on the development of new technologies for studying the origins of the universe.
- Dr. Christopher Herd, a research scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, for his work on the development of new methods for studying the effects of climate change on the Earth’s oceans.
- Dr. Rebecca Masterson, a research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, for her work on the development of new technologies for exploring the solar system.
- Dr. Andrew Rhymer, a research engineer at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, for his work on the development of new technologies for improving the efficiency of aircraft.
The PECASE awards are given to scientists and engineers who have demonstrated exceptional potential for leadership in their fields. The awards are administered by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and are intended to encourage and support the nation’s most promising scientists and engineers.
“These four individuals are shining examples of the next generation of NASA leaders,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “Their groundbreaking research and engineering is helping us to better understand our universe, protect our planet, and explore the solar system. I am proud to see them receive this prestigious recognition.”
The NASA scientists and engineers will receive their PECASE awards at a ceremony at the White House later this year.
